Color Therapy Treatment Techniques

Color can be therapeutically administered in a number of ways. Before treatment is considered, however, an analysis of the individual's personal coloration is highly recommended.

Just as your medical and health needs are different from that of someone else, so are your color therapy needs. Therefore, to best discover the ways in which color therapy can uniquely benefit you, your personal coloration should first be determined.

Practitioners of Ayurvedic – also referred to as just “Ay” – medicine perform a thorough examination and interview with the patient to determine his or her "prakriti," or constitution. In Ay, an individual ’ s "pakriti" is determined at conception and remains unchanged during his or her lifetime. A personal color analysis identifies the predominant pigment within the body. This pigment determines that individuals "core" color, which is linked to a specific Chakra – the seven energy centers which compose our consciousness and our system of energy. In addition, a personal traits survey which can be given along with the color analysis, indicates an innate personality type. Personality type also corresponds to the individuals core color and dominant Chakra .

Pigmentation and innate personality are also constitutional, determined at conception, and remain with an individual throughout his or her lifetime. Much can be inferred from understanding the individual as a whole.
